My method for dark shell is just that, a damp cloth has tended to fix anything outside of gouges. Just water and lots of brushing restores them.Hey guys, was looking for the shoe care thread but couldn't find it. I have been watching some shoe care cordovan videos and some recommend treating them with just a damp cloth and brushing and if they have some scuffs use the Brift H ebony stick. Others do recommend using a cream. Which one would you say works best? And where can I get the Brift H ebony stick? Can't find it anywhere.
That's actually quite helpful. Thanks, will try it. Sadly I already bought the burgundy cream haha but will try the damp cloth method.My method for dark shell is just that, a damp cloth has tended to fix anything outside of gouges. Just water and lots of brushing restores them.
For my lighter colored shell, I rely pretty heavily on either Saphir’, or Burgol’s colored cordovan creams. For my tastes they are the best options, because they offer me the ability to restore the color to minor scuffs.
I also own and utilize the burgundy cream. The oils in the Saphir’ make the shoes look great.That's actually quite helpful. Thanks, will try it. Sadly I already bought the burgundy cream haha but will try the damp cloth method.
And how regularly do you use it?I also own and utilize the burgundy cream. The oils in the Saphir’ make the shoes look great.
Very rarely, only as needed, typically a dry brush is all that’s needed. I condition them as needed which is more than I use crème, and for that I use Bick pretty exclusively. One thing though, I’m probably a guy that many would say babies shell. But, the truth is I baby all my shoes. I don’t wear my shoes through mud, bad weather etc. I have specific dress shoes that I wear in rainy weather, (suede, russian grain, zug, cxl) etc… I don’t wear any shell in bad weather, in addition, I’ve got an extensive collection of footwear, so it’s not like they get many wears.And how regularly do you use it?

Thanks!I could only find a photo of the Brift H ebony stick, but have seen similar tools at Japanese shoe shops. I bought a whole array of horn tools on e-bay for a fraction of the price.
